Red Roses: 안녕하세요 (annyeonghaseyo) my readers/friends and welcome to chapter 17 I guess. This chapter is a little unique compared to the other chapters because it involves...

ANOTHER ANIME/MANGA!

Yep, this is a crossover of some sorts and if you don't know the anime/manga in this story, I will explain everything in the end of the chapter. So, please bear with it.

Now, my replies to my dear faithful readers...

Light27: I've never consider weird as a bad thing (my school nickname is "the weird one" approved by me) so thank you so much for the compliment :) High school kids can be really mean sometimes and I wanted to show how words can make or break a person's dream.

CherryPop0120: Surprise, surprise Katou got hurt. Knowing Katou, he might have pissed someone off. We'll find out soon :)

SunshineGal16: Who wouldn't love to just sleep through the day? (Why can't I? *sad*) Huh, I've never realized how alike Mayu was with Tsubaki. Nice eye :) I'm thankful for readers who are patient and understanding like my readers, I feel so blessed :').

Late Bloomers: Gomenasai! I didn't mean to make you feel disappointed but I'm so glad you're so understanding :) I'm so happy you liked my chapter and I promise to make this chapter a little more ShinaKatou happy :)

LightSpeed Athlete24: Yes, sometimes people can be so hurtful with their words :( As for Mayu, I may or may not make a special appearance for her just for the fun of it :P Well, I won't call your gut a liar so I'll make this chapter as epic and awesome as possible!

Hachimitsu2: Very nice to meet you :) I'm really glad you like my story and I'm really happy you'd find my OCs tolerable. I'll do my best and make sure not to disappoint my faithful readers :)

mk8/Emma Marius: I'm very flattered of your kind words and I'll be very happy and deeply thankful if you did come back for my story :)

Takagi Akito: I'm very glad my story didn't make your eyes bleed for whatever reasons and thank you for your kind words. Sadly, I'm a little shy about my drawing skills and I'm not sure about putting my drawings online but I did upload a picture of Shinako in my deviantart page which you can find the address in my profile.

And of course, the disclaimer...

Chuuma: Red Roses does not own Sket Dance...why am I doing this?

Red Roses: Because I said so :P

WARNING: Since this is a crossover, I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn, also be cautious of violence, crude language and crazy nonsense that should not make sense yet it does.


"So, are you going to tell me where you got those injuries?" Shinako impatiently asked the stubborn ninja, tapping her feet.

"It's none of your business" he retorted brusquely.

Cue the irk mark on her temple. "I'm in the Health Committee. It is my business!" she countered back.

When the injured albino refused to answer her, Shinako had an itching urge to knock some sense into him using her bokuto. But instead, she suppressed it for another day as she turned to a more cooperative witness.

"Tsubaki-sama," the female samurai called more politely. "What exactly happened to you? How did you get so injured?"

"Katou and I were walking home together when-"

"You guys walk home together?" Takeshida questioned with a raised eyebrow.

The embarrassed president cough albeit before continuing his story. His face suddenly turned serious as he resume his story

"As we we're walking, a gang of hoodlums attack us out of nowhere!"

Shinako and Harumi gasped in fear as Takeshida suddenly turned his head in interest.

"What?!" The modern samurai cried in shock.

"How could this have happen?"

"We were lucky to get away with only a few bruises and scratches" Tsubaki looked relieved but Shinako wasn't feeling the same way.

"Have you seen your injuries?!" Shinako referred to the band-aid covered bruises on the young president's face. "You're a doctor's son, Tsubaki-sama. You should know how dangerous these injuries could have been"

Tsubaki looked away but judging from his gestures and Katou's silence, Shinako knew this gang was more than just mindless gangsters.

Tsubaki sighed exasperated. "What terrible timing as well"

"What do you mean, Tsubaki-sama?"

"A group of students from another school are going to visit our school tomorrow and I was supposed to give them a tour around the school with Unyuu" Tsubaki touched the band-aids on his face. "If they were to see my face, they may think badly of our school"

"That is a possibility" Harumi agreed. "What kind of school would have their president so badly injured?"

"I cannot make Usami take over the tour as the visiting students are mostly boys and I'm afraid Asahina would intimidate them with her vicious words"

"Your Student Council members are messed up" Takeshida commented which earned a glare from the injured boys.

"Umm," Shinako started, grabbing the boys' attention. "I could volunteer to help Unyuu-senpai with the tour"

Tsubaki was pleasantly surprised. "Really, Kikuchi?"

"Well, I've been here long enough to know my way around here and seeing how I'm technically still considered new here, I would know the feeling of being in a different school"

As the chocolate-eyed girl explained her reasons, Tsubaki was silently approving the idea. Katou, on the other, was not too fond.

"Tch, you'll probably mess it up" Katou rebuked to which Shinako responded negatively.

"How dare you! At least I won't scare them off like you would!" Shinako countered back, pointing at his glaring eyes. "You're always glaring at people!"

"At least I don't smile like a clueless idiot, troublesome samurai"

"You delinquent ninja!"

The other occupants of the rooms felt a sweat dropped down their foreheads as they watch the ninja and samurai interact like cats and dogs.


"So, where are these boys from Unyuu-senpai?" Shinako asked her smiling senior as they both stood in front of the school gate together.

"I heard they're from 'Namimori Middle School' in a place called Namimori" Unyuu answered with her natural sweet laced tone.

"Middle school? How old are they?"

"I believe they are around the age of 14 and 15"

After getting all her questions answered, Shinako felt her situation a little clearer as she saw 5 new faces coming into the school. By the looks of it, they were quite a bunch of interesting people.

As they get closer, she realized that it was 4 boys and a girl coming their way; two boys had dark hair while the other two boys had light-coloured hair whereas the girl had short, dark purple hair and wearing an eye patch. For safety measures, Shinako and Unyuu decided not to ask about it in fear of unconsciously hurting the girl's feelings.

When the visitors finally reached the gate, Unyuu and Shinako bowed politely at them.

"Welcome to Kaimei Academy. My name is Unyuu Mimori, the Student Council Vice-president" Unyuu greeted as well as introduced herself.

"My name is Kikuchi Shinako. I'm from the Health Committee" Shinako introduced shortly after her senior.

"Well, my name is Sawada Tsunayoshi" the short brunette boy introduced himself nervously. Shinako thought he was rather shy and feminine-looking but Shinako thought she shouldn't say that out loud.

"I'm Yamamoto Takeshi!" the tall black-haired boy said, smiling brightly as he introduced the frowning silver-haired boy next to him. "And this is Gokudera"

"Oi idiot, I never asked you to introduced me!" The silver-head boy yelled out rudely but the taller boy kept his large grin.

"Sorry, sorry"

"Those two have quite a relationship" Shinako thought as she then turned to the last boy to introduce himself.

It was the white-haired boy's turn. He had bandages on his arms and nose but nonetheless Shinako saw no abnormalities with him. His eyes was basically screaming confidence and energy and he stood just as confidently.

"I'M SASAGAWA RYOHEI! NICE TO MEET YOU TO THE EXTREME!" He yelled out his introduction which startled Shinako and made Unyuu giggled albeit.

He was certainly loud.

Lastly, it was the girl's turn to give her name to Unyuu and Shinako at last. The purple-haired girl was silently standing there for a while and when she saw the two seniors looking at her, she quickly bowed down her head.

"My name is Dokuro Chrome. It's a pleasure to meet you" she said quietly. Unyuu and Shinako assumed she was the silent and shy type.

After all of their introductions, Unyuu flashed them a sweet smile.

"It is a pleasure to meet all of you. Shall we get started?"

With that, their tour started and that's how their unforgettable school tour began.


"This is our sports yard where our baseball team and softball team practice during curricular hours" Shinako explained as they pass the baseball field.

"Cool, you guys have a baseball team!" Yamamoto said, smiling happily at the pleasant news.

"Tch, stupid baseball idiot" the silver-haired boy muttered underneath his breath as the short brunette nervously chastised his rude friend. The shorter boy seems to have a significant part in the silver-haired student's life as Gokudera immediately stopped his rude mutterings.

Shinako felt herself strangely reminded of her brash classmate as she silently watched the silver-haired boy listen obediently to whatever the small brunette boy says like how a certain albino ninja hangs on every word of a certain dark-haired president.

"Do you guys have an extreme boxing club?!" Ryohei asked, eyes burning with strong hope.

"Of course, this school has a wide range of different clubs and activities~" Unyuu answered much to the white-haired boxer's joy.

"What extremely good news!" Ryohei cheered as he punches the air with his pumped up fists.

"Big brother, please calm down!" Tsuna begged as Ryohei kept jumping around.

"You idiot boxer! Can't you see you're embarrassing the Tenth? I'm gonna blow you up!" the silver-haired teen said as he reached for something in his sleeves.

"Eiii, Gokudera please don't!" Tsuna panicked as he quickly stopped Gokudera from pulling out whatever he was reaching for.

"Haha, calm down Gokudera" Yamamoto tried to calm his friend down but it did little to help. In fact, it may have further anger the raging silverette.

"You shut up you baseball idiot!"

"Boss..." the quiet girl called out to Tsuna as things started to escalate pretty quickly.

Shinako, though albeit confused, chuckled quietly as she watched the energetic middle schoolers. Although they were acting recklessly, it seems that this happens often and they seemed to having a fun time which is a relief for Unyuu and Shinako.

"Hey, Kikuchi-senpai" someone called her to which Shinako turned her head to see the tall brunette boy, Yamamoto "Do you happen to take Kendo?"

Shinako tilted her head in confusion of his question until he pointed to the bokuto strapped to her hip.

"Oh! My bokuto" Shinako now understood why Yamamoto would suddenly asked her that question. She had her bokuto with her for so long, she sometimes forget it was attached to her belt.

"Well, I did but I quit Kendo at the age of fourteen" Shinako answered truthfully. "I'm now learning Kenjutsu from my father"

"Wow, what a coincidence!" Yamamoto said, grinning happily as per usual. "I'm learning the way of the sword from my pops"

"How nice!" Shinako said, genuinely happy to find another eager student learning from their fathers. "Your father must be an excellent teacher"

Yamamoto laughed. "Yea, he can be strict sometimes but I owe everything to my pops. He runs a sushi restaurant"

"Really?"

As Shinako and Yamamoto kept their chat going, they realized that they have a lot in common and they suddenly turned into great friends.

"Umm, Kikuchi-san?" someone else called her out and Shinako turned again to see it was Tsuna. She looked to see that everyone has calmed down and the two rowdy albinos seemed to have reconciled...for now. Unyuu was standing inbetween them to prevent anything from happening again.

"Oh, Sawada-kun"

"Well umm, I apologized for my friends' behaviour" Tsuna apologized nervously to which the taller senior replied with a smile and a giggle, confusing the young brunette boy.

"There's no need to apologize, Sawada-kun. I understand how friends would sometimes fight and argue. It's completely natural" Shinako smiled at the young boy to which made a small light blush appear.

"Plus, it's nice to see such young energetic boys nowadays, right Unyuu-senpai?"

Unyuu agreed wholeheartedly. "You're right. I find it quite adorable~"

"Also, Sawada-kun" Shinako said, placing her hands on Tsuna's shoulders reassuringly. "If you're feeling nervous about anything, please tell us right away. There is nothing for you to be nervous about"

Just as she said that, Katou suddenly appeared behind her from who knows where, startling Shinako and scaring Tsuna off his feet.

"EEEIIII!" he shrieked girlishly as he fell onto his rear.

Shinako, haven gotten over her shock, glared at the reckless ninja "Katou! What are you doing here?"

"Tch, I found this weird kid walking around the school"

With that, Katou pulled out a small 5-year-old boy with a black afro while wearing a black and white patterned bodysuit with a tail attached to it, making him look like a small cow.

"Eh? How did you get here, little one?" Shinako looked at him strangely when he suddenly started shouting.

"I'M NOT LITTLE! I'M THE GREAT LAMBO! AND ALL OF YOU ARE MY MINIONS!" the little cow-dressed boy shouted, greatly annoying Katou who was holding him by the neck of his suit.

"You little annoying brat" Katou growled at him to which made Lambo quiver in fear while Shinako turned a vicious glare at him and mercilessly whacked him on the head.

"What the hell?!"

"What is wrong with you? Scaring a small innocent child like that?!" She scolded him as her glare turned toxic. "And what are you doing out here? You're supposed to be recovering from your injury!"

"Don't tell me what to do, troublesome samurai. What about you?"

Shinako raised her brow quizzically. "What about me?"

"Weren't you supposed to be showing them the school, not flirting with them?" Katou said, rather coldly but due to Shinako's exploding embarrassment, she didn't noticed.

"I was not flirting, you stupid jerk! How could you think that?!" the ebony-haired samurai screamed at the snow-haired ninja in embarrassment. "You're just a crazy delinquent ninja!"

Meanwhile the Namimori students stood idly by, watching the ninja and samurai had surrounded themselves in this dark, tense aura as they glared venomously at each other.

"They seem angry" Crome quietly noted to herself as she stands near Tsuna, not wanting to disturb the two glaring seniors.

"D-Do we stop them?" Tsuna was panicking in his place. At first, Shinako seemed like a sweet, dainty maiden until the white-haired senior came and now she looked like she was ready to viciously rip the boy tissue by tissue.

"No need, Sawada-kun" Unyuu said, smiling reassuringly, not even flinching to the sight of her two juniors glaring daggers into each other's eyes. "This happens all the time. This is perfectly normal~"

"This is normal?!"

"Haha, they really do get along!" Yamamoto laughed cheerfully, further shocking his shorter brunette friend. Tsuna knew Yamamoto can be a little dense but there should be a limit!

"Yamamoto!"

Eventhough the two rivals were throwing insults at each other's ears, they didn't miss the oblivious boy's comment as shown when they suddenly turned their heads around to the tall brunette junior.

"No way do we get along!" They screamed angrily in unison which caused them to glare at each other even harder. "Don't copy me!"

"What are you herbivores doing?" a dark voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere and the danger laced in the tone sent shivers down Tsuna's spine.

Fearfully, he turned around to see his worst fear glaring at him with cold steel eyes. A boy with inky black hair stood with cool but dangerous air around him. He wore the same uniform as Tsuna and his friends but he had a black school jacket which was hanging off his shoulders with a red band pinned on its left sleeve with the word "Discipline" written on it. As Shinako noticed the new boy's obsidian hair, fair skin and the rather cold pale eyes, she couldn't help but be reminded of a certain sarcastic and blunt friend of hers.

"Hibari-san! What are you doing here?!" Tsuna said, shivering in fear in his place.

"The baby told me I'd find worthy opponents here" he answered as he looked to the mean-looking ninja. "Are you a worthy opponent?"

"What's it to you?" Katou questioned rudely to the new face with his glare intact. "Are you picking a fight with me?"

"Katou, no fighting in school!" Shinako reminded the snow-haired ninja of the school's most basic rules but all fell to deaf ears as Katou pulled out a small kunai.

"Eeeeiii, he has a knife!" Tsuna screamed in his head and judging by his black-haired schoolmate's eyes, he instantly knew a fight was inevitable.

Itching for a fight, Katou carelessly threw the small boy he was holding as he initiated the battle. Hibari, however, easily countered the ninja's kunai with his tonfas he pulled out from his sleeves.

"He had a concealed weapon?!" Shinako gasped as she watched the battle between the ninja and the Discipline president.

Even though she would never admit out loud, Shinako knew not many could fight equally with Katou so, it was rather shocking to see the two boys on par with each other.

Meanwhile, the Namimori boys were just as shocked as Shinako but with slightly different reasons. Hibari was known in Namimori Middle School as the strongest kid in school with a bloodlust to match and to see someone keeping up with him was truly a shocking scene.

"Lambo-san, please stop crying" all the non-participants of the fight turned to see Chrome and Unyuu consoling the crying afro-haired boy. They had forgotten how Katou recklessly threw the small child like a worthless, crumbled up piece of paper.

"Gotta...stay...calm" Lambo mumbled those words like a mantra as he tried to calm down but all was in vain when he broke down and started crying even more.

"I CAN'T!" the small kid cried loudly and out of the blue, he pulled out a dangerous looking bazooka...from his large afro.

"H-How is that possible?!" Shinako screamed in disbelief as stared at the large weapon with wide chocolate eyes.

"Oi, you stupid cow! Don't bring that out!" Gokudera yelled angrily at the sniffling boy as he grabbed the small boy by the neck of his suit. From the sudden lift, Lambo randomly aimed the bazooka as he accidentally pulled the trigger.

Of all the worst luck, the bazooka wasn't aimed somewhere safe and unoccupied. Instead, it looked like it was about to hit Unyuu as she stood there stunned and confused.

"UNYUU-SENPAI!" Shinako screamed her lungs, alerting everyone of the current danger and without thinking, Shinako desperately ran towards Unyuu.

"Shinako, what the hell are you doing?!" Katou yelled out as he watched the insane samurai pushed her wavy-haired senior out of the way, leaving her in front of the incoming missile.

Everything seemed to be in slow motion as everyone watched helplessly as Shinako was hit as the missile suddenly exploded upon contact with the impulsive samurai, disappearing in a cloud of pink dust.

"SHINAKO!"


For those who are not familiar with Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Shinako did NOT die, ok? She's perfectly fine as I will show you in the next chapter. I'm sorry for the really late update but unfortunately, I have an exam coming up and it will take most of my time away (I'm really nervous T_T). So, the next update may be late as well.

As I said, I would explain some stuff about Katekyo Hitman Reborn. So, I'll tell you this:

-The characters are Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ryohei, Hibari, Chrome and Lambo.

-The bazooka actually doesn't harm people. It does something completely different.

-If you saw the word 'baby', it wasn't a typo. There's a talking toddler of some sorts in the show.

To learn more, look it up. It's actually a very nice show.

Also, really really sorry if there are any typing errors or grammar mistakes because I was in quite a hurry to get this done.

I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience. Please don't hate me.

안녕 (annyeong) and I'm truly sorry!
